Dr. Uhl is interested in the host factors, particularly cell and tissue responses, associated with susceptibility and resistance to disease. Previous and current projects include: characterization of pulmonary cytokine expression and transcription factor activation in a rat model of virus-induced asthma, transcription factor activation in feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection, cytokine expression in respiratory and reproductive diseases in horses, and the molecular pathogenesis of skin cancer in a variety of species.
